As usual, this is a maintenance release, aimed at bug-fixing;
no new features are being added to the 4.0 branch.
The main purpose of this release is compatibility with recent GTK+
releases along with other fixes.
_wasn't_ there (i.e., me not looking correctly). The documentation was
in share/doc/icewm/html, which is perfectly acceptable (a package can
organize documentation however it wants inside its doc directory).
No revision bump since it was bumped just some minutes ago.
- Disable i18n under NetBSD < 2.0. It doesn't let icewm run (even when
pkgsrc's libiconv is used). If anybody has a better way to really
solve the problem...). Fixes PR pkg/23979 by syn at sceen.net.
- While here, move HTML documentation out of share/doc/html.

Changes in alpha release 2.5.9 (2-Mar-2004)
* New MenuStyle options PopupIgnore and PopupClose.
* New configure option --disable-iconv to disable iconv support.
* New extended variables $[w.iconfile] and $[w.miniiconfile].

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in development release 2.5.8 (31-Oct-2003)
* New prefix command KeepRc.
* Renamed the Cond command to TestRc, and the On command to Test.
Removed the CondCase command. Use "KeepRc TestRc" instead.

levels to break out of. Break now has a return code of -2
("Break").
* Directions can be abbreviated with -, _, [, ], <, >, v or ^ like
in key or mouse bindings.
* New extended variable $[func.context].
* New Style option MoveByProgramMethod. Tries to autodetect
whether application windows are moved honouring the ICCCM or not
(default). The method can be overridden manually if the
detection does not work.
* fvwm supports tear off menus. See the "Tear Off Menus" section
in the man page or press Backspace on any menu to try them out.
* fvwm now handles what Unicode calls "combining characters" (i.e.
marks drawn on top of other characters).
* New commands WindowStyle and DestroyWindowStyle for individual
(per window) styles.
* The conditions !Current... and !Layer now work as expected.
* Added a nice autohide script to the FAQ.
* FvwmAnimate now supports dynamical commands "pause", "play",
"push", "pop" and "reset" to manipulate the playing state.

The WMI Team is proud to announce the long awaited wmi-8 release which comes
with many improvements, code refactorings and bug fixes.
Note: If you're user of gcc-2.95 make sure to add:
bar.buttons=no
to your $HOME/.wmi/common.conf file in order to get WMI up and running.
Changes:
========
+ select-client action for monitor-wide fast focussing of clients
+ cycle-frame action readded for cycling frames
+ toggle-frames action added for toggling frames
(older raise-all-frames has been removed)
+ cycle-group action added for group based cycling
- cycle-prev/next removed
+ attach-all-clients action implemented which attaches all detached
clients to the current workspace
+ changed tab colorization of unfocussed clients of the active group
to a different default than unfocussed clients of inactive groups
+ dynamic border width configuration for frames and clients
+ toggle-border(s) actions for toggling the border on the fly
+ new stacking order remebering of all WMI objects (clients,
frames, groups, workspaces) implemented
+ unfocussed-groups.mode option for common.conf implemented (this
option has two modes (show/hide) which is used for default hiding
other (unfocussed) groups
+ toggle-unfocussed-groups action which toggles the visibility of
unfocussed groups implemented
+ lock implemented using lock.password common.conf property
+ sticky group (monitor-wide) implemented with new actions
+ sticky-client action implemented which makes a client sticky
+ unsticky-client action implemented which resets a sticky client
to normal floating state
+ added frame.buttons option to common.conf for frame button visibility
+ applied Marcin Pawliks control keys patch for input mode
+ applied Markus Lindorfers patch for Solaris support
+ implemented Xft support
+ implemented new shortcut handling with abstract syntax
{extern,intern,chain}..keys=[+::]*+
+ implemented new option 'default.client-mode' to common.conf
which sets the default mode for unknown apps.
+ wmiremote -p pretty prints current key bindungs of running WMI
session as ASCII art to the terminal
+ implemented mouse-wheel based workspace and group cycling
+ eliminated various compiler warnings (mostly unserious ones)
+ destroy-action for self-defined chain and extern actions implemented
+ implemented select-frames action
- removed autowarping the pointer
+ drastic code size optimizations (removed useless inlines,
made unsigned to explicit unsigned int, etc.)
+ renamed toggle-frames to toggle-focus-mode
+ renamed toggle-client-state to toggle-client-mode
+ new default key bindings only using alt+<...>, shift+alt+<...> and
ctrl+alt+<...>
- removed detachAllButton from floatbar (consistency reasons)
- removed all left frame buttons
+ close button now scales better by big fonts (only 3 pixel center)
+ toggle-focus-mode button in floatbar now gives feedback about
active mode like (overlapping=floating/non-overlapping=maximized)
+ implemented bigger tolerance for diagonal resize pointer
+ new slot behavior for NeXTish dockapps (gkrellm experimental)
removed slot.width and slot.justification, fast invocation menu
not implemented yet, cause this should be done externally
- removed autoraising of grouped clients if a floating client
is attached/focussed
+ ICCCM overwork (should solve most known BUGs)
+ focus clients through click into client area with alt key pressed
+ written welcome section in wmi(1) manual page for newbies
+ pop up manual page wmi(1) within xterm when wmi is started first
+ moved actions detail description to actions.conf file
Changes:
* Changed default install program to install-sh.
* Removed 'exec' from /bin/sh call to execute command so that more
complex commands can be entered.
* Merged dock kde systray support patch.
* Fixed couple XFree calls in dock module.
* WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS handling fixes. (Does something still use
this/bother supporting indexed colour models at all?)
* Fixed stippled tab font when -i18n was not set.
* Only kill active grab when esc is pressed, not released.
* Oops, there was an off-by-one bug in _NET_VIRTUAL_ROOTS setting.
* Fixed bug (reported by Eugene Wong) where resizing the top of
a window would cause it to jump up several pixels. The height of
the titlebar was not being considered when calculating mouse
motion in reshaping_motionnotify().
* Modified manage() to avoid autoplacing windows during
initialisation.
* Applied patch from Elliott that gives focus to new windows in
click-to-focus mode.
* Changed the buttonpress code in disp.c to ignore scroll wheel
"clicks".
* Modified Client_Remove so that, in click-to-focus mode, it
refocuses on the most sensible window (either the top window,
or the window that the closing window was a transient for).
* Attempted to fix the edit placement bug by adding titleHeight()
to the supplied X coordinate during a ConfigureRequest event,
and not attempting to fix clients that don't supply a border
width during a configure request.
* Fixed fullscreen-mode bug where galeon windows appeared to jump
up and to the left after the first click.
really have big information value for those who don't know neither B nor C.
s/minimalistic/minimalist/ in DESCR, the former is not really an english word.
WMI is a new window manager for X11, which combines the best features of
LarsWM, Ion, TrsWM, evilwm and ratpoison into one window manager.
WMI is new: it is developed from scratch wit h C++ without any ancient code
and design dependencies to antiquated window managers.
WMI is minimalistic: it has no build- or runtime dependencies except the C++
Standard Template Library (STL) and the X11 Library (XLib).
WMI is highly customizable: it is designed with keyboard users in mind. Each
action (e.g. resizing the frame, creating a new workspace, launching an app,
note that WMI provides hundreds of actions) can be bind to a shortcut. So say
good-bye to the rodent :)

found in the buildlink directory.
This was noticed when using pkgviews, because pkg-config is broken
as it has wrong compiled-in default for lib/pkgconfig directory.
* Added spanish and swedish translations
* Changed "Unnamed Desktop" to "Desktop n" where n is the actual number of
the desktop
* Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
* The fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints
* Added M as an alias for Mod3 in the same manner that W is an alias for
Mod4

* keepBorder option to set if you want the 1-pixel border when you
toggleDecorations

firstdesk. For example, you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
grid to start in the middle.
Note that this won't build until a buildlink3 bug is fixed. This is not a
regression, as it was already in a non-building state. Please do not file
any PRs regarding this issue.
This is a maintenance release, aimed at bug-fixing; no new features
are being added to the 4.0 branch.
The main purpose of this release is compatibility with the recent GTK+ 2.4.x
release along with other fixes.
2.8.0
=====
No code changes in this release, but some new translations.
2.7.1
=====
Thanks to Rob Adams for fixes in this release.
- bug #122016 - fix a focus race
- Change move_to_workspace_left/right/up/down keybindings to
<Control><Alt><Shift> arrow to avoid conflicting with new
keybindings in spacial nautilus.
- fix dialog stacking order issues so e.g. panel properties
dialog is above the panel
2.7.0
=====
First unstable release tarball for GNOME 2.6.
Thanks to Anders Carlsson, Elijah Newren, Rob Adams, James Cape,
Thomas Fitzimmons, Calum Benson for fixes in this release.
It contains important security fixes in several scripts.
* Corrected rebooting the machine in FvwmScript-Quit.
* Fixed the FlickeringMoveWorkaround option to the BugOpts command.
* Security patch in fvwmbug.sh.
See http://securitytracker.com/alerts/2004/Jan/1008781.html
* Security fixes in
fvwm-menu-directory (BugTraq id 9161)
fvwm_make_directory_menu.sh
fvwm_make_browse_menu.sh
by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.
Ion, two years after the last one!
It is actually an update of ion-devel, which will then disappear before
a new development branch is created for Ion.
Most notable changes (since import of ion-devel, see ChangeLog in the
distribution for a full listing):
* Integration of the dock module
* Workspace query asks for type of workspace when creating new.
* Previous frame geometry (for maximize and shade) is saved in the
workspaces save file.
* Support changes in X keyboard map.
* Autoconf script
* The dock no longer gets focused when the pointer enters it.
* Fill _NET_SUPPORTED root window property with the supported
features (_NET_WM_FULLSCREEN, _NET_WM_NAME, _NET_VIRTUAL_ROOTS).
* Transient size calculation fixed.
* Creating frame for a transient on a floatws will raise the frame
containing the transient_for window.
* Minor memory leak removed: drawing engine colour group name.
- flipflop on #102209/#115072 again (raise on click, but break some apps by
causing enter/leave).
- fix memory corruption in window list.
- fix window-type-inference code for legacy toolkits' windows.
/usr/pkg/etc so I've changed this to sysconfdir; I'm not adding an extra
search path.
Also install default configuration files in place, so that this works out
of the box. If they are not there, the window manager is unconfigured, and
things like window menus do not appear at all.
Bump PKGREVISION to 2.
Second alpha version, released on 2004/02/04.
* Intensive code reorganization and cleanup.
* Added a DTD describing menu2wm's input format. Menu files are validated
against it automatically.
* Added output support for FVWM.
* Added limited output support for .desktop files. KDE will open generted
menus without problems, while GNOME will have to use the old mode to use
them (because files do not use the 'Categories' property).
